To all 'whom t may concern Be it'lnown that l, Amiens* W. WEBER, a citizen of the United Sisters, Yresiding at Jackson, countyof Jacksori, Strate oi Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in` Caps or'Milk-Eottles, and declare 'the following' to be e full, clear, and exact'description oi' the same, such as will enable others'skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying draw" ings, which form a partei this speoiiication.

My invention relates tof the construction of caps vfor milk bottles and other analogous devices, and consists in the combination and arrangement hereinafter speciied and claimed.

InA the' drawings,^l*`igure l is a plan view `of my improved cap with a portion oi the upper part removed. Figs. 2, -S and Ll illustrate the application oi my improved cap in slightlyfdiiierent :forms to mili; bottles.

j Inv the 'drawings 'similar' letters refer to similar parts.,- l

Afrepresents'oiie layer of fabric, preferv at B, as shown especially in Figs. 2, 3 and Il.

l To the convex side of the layer A there is able cement, The'formofthis atteohedeep is turned downward to come m Contact with attachdalayer C of similar material preiu erably bymeansxi glue, or any other suitmay boveijied'i' will, and l have shown in Figs-2, lund lvarious forms. That in F ig. 3 is-'sh'oivn vWithlits outer edge D uptunled, whereas in 4Figafi its enter edge D an interior ledge'E in the mouth of the bottle. In the-periphery-.o the interior Eortion C-'ofhe ea'p rests uponthe ledge li, Fig.3 it Vis upturned around the interiorof theiledge Whereas in Fi e it is turned downward against the ledge. The outer cap A, being larger, fits over the top of themouth of the bottle and may remain' as shown Fig. 2, or its periphery may be downturned as. in Figs. '3 .and e.

i These variousforms' are immaterial. f

"By referenpe to the inner disk C ig. 3) it will be seen that the same is arched ofr hollow omits order side to project above the llower marginal contacting .portion of said disk, which 'ena-bles the corrcspoiidingly depressed central portion of the upper dish 1 B to be secured thereto over an'extended flat surface, "as Welles insuring the outward thrustin'goflthe merginel .edge of the inner dish into firm engagement with its seat at the bottle mouth when the cap is forced in place under a pressure tending to force inwardly'the arched central portion of said inner disk.

In constructing the cap I pierce holes through each member B and C respectively. These holes, however, are not intended to be coincident but are intended to facilitate the attachment and Working of the cement, causing the two parte B and Cv to adhere together. By thus attaching the two parte or disks B and C together, it'will he appreciated that the cement `when becoming dry between the disks and in the perforated portions, forms plugs filling the perforated portions and keying the two disks together, as distinguished from a mere surface pasting idea. Further than this, by having the openings separated, and. also by having them out of alinement or reistration, separated locking portions are e orded preventing relative turning or twisting of the disks as an incident to the removal operation, which would tend to tear the disks apart, were they merely pasted together and the interlocking key feature omitted.` After the cement has hardened, and the disks B and C are rmly adherent, the Whole is immersed in melted pareiiin in the usual manner, for the purpose of making a sanitary and impervious article. it is intended that in any event the interior cap shall iit closely into the noch or mouth of the milk bottle, While the flanged oep hugs the top of the bottle.- By this form oi construction it is practically impossiblev to permit any extraneous matter to enter the bottle While he cap is boinc' removed.. With the use of c ps of ordinary-style, which are inolosed in the interior of the mouth of the adherent in operation, one Jr'or the interior of the mouth oi the bottle and thelorger member for the er rior; the smaller one seais the bottle. vie the larger protects vthe contents of the bottle from being con-` taminated during the removal of the Cap. It is obvious that, if these two pieces were not cemented together and could be removed separately, foreign metter could enter the bottle after the outer cap had been removed and While the interior cap Was in the process scribed eomprising a pair of cap members,y

said cap members being each provided With separated openings and a cementitiousp binder interposed between the adjoining surfaces of said cap members and entering and forming plugs in said open portions to key' the disk members together at correspondingly separated points, the openings in the two disk members being 4arranglged out of alinementv to correspondingly position the p-lgsin staggered relation.

2. vA bottle closure ofthe character dei-lf" j.- l scribed comprising a pair of cap members,- said cap members being vprovided With nonregistering openings,l and a cementitious binder interposed between' the adjoining. sur-A faces of said cap members and entering and: .A forming plugs in said open portionsv to keyf the disk members together. In testimony whereof, I sign this specii-I cation in the presence of two witnesses. l f
